Presentation of crayon portrait of MAJOR
Dickey of Fort Kent:
MIR. Walton-Msjor Dickey, in response to
the wishes of the members of this House,
now propose to do thing which l never did
before in my life, and that is to read speech.
Major Dickey, as a mark Of the great re-
spect which the members of this House en-
terrain for you, and as token of their re-
gard a1d esteem, they now present to you
this picture of gentleman we have
all known, either personally or by reputation
for many years; gentleman who was born
and raised on the rock.bou coast of Maine,
who in his earlier life helped make part of
the history of the beautiful Kennebec valley,
and who for years occupied a prominent pO-
sition as citizen within its borders, and who
later in life became resident and an honored
we call Aroostook. For many successive
sessions of this Legislature, that gentleman
has been member of this House, faithfully
and always pleading the cause of his constit-
uents living in that far off region, who speak
a language not our own, and never neglecting
an opportunity to provide for and look out
for their welfare.
Take the picture then. Major, and when
you look a, 1t, try to emulate the virtues of
the gentleman whose picture it is, and at the
same time give "a friendly thought to the
donors.
MIR. Dickey: As you remark, it is the first
time have been called upon to az crpt pres
ent thus presented, and Mr.. Walton and the
gentlemen who through you present me with
this picture, | return nv sincere thanks be-
lieving as do that it Genres not only from
the heart hut through the social intercourse
and love, one for the other.
To me this picture is of great value. not
that | shall live long to possess 1t anu to see
il. but nave children that will live long per-
haps AID honor their father and honor those
thst gave it
1t is to me source of great consolation
that in my long lite with the legislature and
with social friends, | can say that | have but
few enemies. / do not know that | have
anv. 1t has been my desire to live and do
for my constituents ali that l could. They
have been incapable of doing for themselves;
their language is different and they had
been simple people for many years be-
fore we took them. The result is that have
a large amount of that kind of business that
no other member has. But to them all re-
turn my sincere thanks for their kindness,
and now say to those who gave me this pic
ture that accept it in all gratitude anC love.
